Acceptance

Dear Lord please help us to live as we believe, and to accept ourselves for who and what we are. To accept our own shortcomings and limitations, and push on without fear to living a life full of artful productivity, without giving up in the face of scorn and ridicule. Please help us to influence others to find direction and happiness with satisfaction and success in spite of weaknesses. Please may the Holy Spirit guide and protect us all as we seek Your Kingdom, and thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings that You have given us, and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
